New Years Day 2013, out on Port Townsend Bay

Just had to get on the water and it turned out to be one of the rare sunny days this season.  The Cascade Mountains were dusted with snow on the Eastern horizon and Mount Baker was solid white and massive in the Northeast.

About 13:30 we found +Edward Gossett out in the middle of Port Townsend bay, testing an additional sail between the two mainsails  while is adroit 4 year old 'manned' the helm of their core-sound-17.

Later, again with Tabitha at the helm, Edward took two pictures of Yasmin... I hope to figure out my phone camera and promise to return the favor on future messabouts.

Edward has his own blog where he describes their frequent family adventures from each family member's perspective, such refreshing and cool way to tell the story and highlight learnings. http://foggysailing.com

Happy New year, I'm feeling that this will be the luckiest year yet 2013!
